I (try to) use it for storing and organizing stuff that I would otherwise organize with the file system. Evernote is better than the file system/Dropbox primarily because it does full text search of PDFs (even scans), words in photos, and plain text. Evernote also lets you look at all file types in the same interface. And there are good mobile apps. It's sort of like an integrated version of Spotlight, Quick View, and Dropbox but with better search and better mobile apps.
